A 68-year-old senior citizen from Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu has gone viral after receiving ₱20,000 in cash from the local government for voluntarily undergoing circumcision under the city’s “Operation Tuli” program.

The initiative, launched by the Lapu-Lapu City LGU, offers financial incentives ranging from ₱10,000 to ₱20,000 to men aged 20 and above who choose to be circumcised.

The program aims to promote hygiene and health, especially among adult males who have not yet undergone the procedure.
